The famous beaches of Bean Point are also within your reach, just a short, one mile drive up-island.

Lovely Island Stay

We very much enjoyed our stay on Anna Maria Island. Our place was comfy, quaint, and great location. It was within walking distance to everything we wanted to do - beach, eating, shopping, etc. Only one con was a loud neighbor in the unit above but didn't spoil our over-all stay!

Squeaky clean, but loud and a little harder of a bed that we are used to.

The studio was spotless, squeaky clean when we walked in at 1600, the place had this very pleasant smell too! There was a few little things that could use a bit TLC, the couch material is piling, the bedding seemed a bit worn, and unfortunately for us the bed was rather hard. Little things that did not really make or break our stay. The location was excellent, cross the street your in the beach, The delicious Water front restaurant with in ten steps, the pier and soooo much more! I do have to mention the unit we were in was on the ground floor, unit 1, the folks above us had been dancing all night well into the wee hours of the morning. In a lame attempt to contact Vacasa, ( because they have never answered any of the times we have tried to connect with Vacasa) they did not answer and as I write this they still have not gotten back to us which at this moment in time is a moot point. The were loud and seemed to be having a good time and one could hear it all from the bottom floor. It was awful, all in all the bed which was a tad to hard for our taste, the loud party above us, the lack of interest in Vacasa to tend to any questions and or request for support we had, it was just a last minute just in case place we booked and first time ever using Vacasa. It was pleasant but not worth the large amount of money paid where we could have gone to luxury collection property elsewhere for this. I really wanted to love it, however there were just a few hiccups that made it just ok

Could’ve been better

We stayed for four days at South Bay Inn 1. When we arrived it was very clean. The location is nice and close to the piers and a few restaurants. We loved Two Scoops ice cream! A few complaints is that our first full day within our stay we were told we had to be at the condo from 2-3pm to let Spectrum service the tv. We were given about a 2 hour notice which threw a wrench in some of our scheduled plans. When they arrived there was nothing wrong with the tv… The people above us sounded like they were stomping around even past 10 pm. We also had to wait several hours to do laundry when there are four units and only one washer and dryer. The picture of the beach in the images of this condo is not right across the street. Overall, the condo is nice looking but because of the listed factors I cannot rate it a 5.

Nice pad, could be great.

Location, clean as a whistle, as advertised. Great for single or couple for a few days, maybe up to a week. Agency communication easy and clear. Would be a 5 star if they would just upgrade a few items: new pillows and bedding, improve usefulness of kitchen (count on nothing to cook with, though utensils are fine enough). Would return for another 4 day stay.

Nice pool area. Close to Pine Ave

You are close to Pine Ave, the Waterfront restaurant,Two Scoops ice cream, and the pier. It is at the opposite end to get to the larger beach. The kitchen could be better equipped. The furniture is well worn. I would choose an upper unit instead as you can hear everything from upstairs.

Cute and cozy

My first time renting through a bigger rental company. Rental #1 is the downstairs condo, it's a bit small but really all you need for a stay for two and its in a great location, just steps from the bay. The house was clean, the A/C blew cold and the property was well maintained. The pool was warm and clean, the bath towels were soft and plentiful. I found the king size bwd to be comfy and there was plenty of storage in thw bedroom and kitchen. The rental had most of what you need for your stay, but unlike other rentals I've stayed at on the island, useful leftover items from previous guests are discarded when the house keepers clean up, so expect to buy EVERYTHING you'll need (ziplock bags, sunscreen, laundry detergent, ice- because there are no ice cube trays, etc.). I was less than impressed with the cooking utensils and beach towels (the silicone tip tongs were broken, dollar store quality spatula, warped frying pan, the beach two beach towels supplied were thin and quite small). There were a few ghost ants present in the kitchen but by no means would I consider it an infestation, I've come to understand that they're fairly common throughout Florida. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Rasmussen, June 10-17

The property was great, however, both sets of visitors that stayed upstairs (Unit 2) while we were there were extremely noisy. This literally made it impossible for us to get any real sleep every night. I would stay at this property again, but I would make sure to stay in a second-floor unit.

Dirty furniture and uncomfortable bed

I wish this review allowed pictures so I can show the dirty front porch and living room furniture. The bed was so uncomfortable that we left a day early and went to a hotel just to get a good night sleep on our last night of vacation. Since the bed was not comfortable and the love seat was dirty we stayed out at the beaches. When we returned to the unit we had to cover the loveseat with the pool towels in order to sit on it. We asked for a refund for the last night of our stay due to the uncomfortable bed and the dirty furniture. Our request was denied. If you book this property you should just know our experience so you can decide based on the current conditions. Our stay was June 2-4, 2023.

Great location an updated unit but . . .

There were no blankets in the unit, which we did not discover until it was time to go to sleep our first night. We called Vacasa in the morning and blankets were then brought to us during the day. Also, we were not told that there would be construction on the roof occurring during our stay. We woke up to roofers removing shingles, etc. and then received a phone call about 3 hours later informing us of the construction. The sofa and upholstered chair in the living room area were a little worn/stained and could be updated. Otherwise, the rest of the unit was clean and the water pressure in the shower was awesome! We would stay again, just wished the communication would have been better regarding the roof construction.
